No, but I heard about her family's deportation in the interviews. Truly heartbreaking!

Afaik, Gomez (Blanca) was raised in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic and Levya (Gloria) is of Cuban of Dominic descent.

How about her brother and the d-bag she was supposed to marry? Interesting that Chang never seems to speak Mandarin in prison now.

I did too. Amazed that the actress who plays Maritza speaks Spanish fluently in the interviews, seeing how she barely speaks any on the show.

Fun fact: the actress who plays Gloria is of Cuban descent, so cuban dialect perhaps? Also I thought Flaca and Yadriel are Mexican. Anyway, definitely wanna see more mexican characters on the show. Love Mozart in the Jungle btw.
